Watching Eggs Hatch.

mo. it's fact. don't mean look

and Just seeing the shell, but | mean
seeing the inside of it and watching
the gradual developments of the chick

and forage for worms. 1t was over
at Tubingen University, Germany,
that | saw it. Great fellows for re-
search, those German professors.
This one was DR.. Gerlach, who seems
to have given himself up to invcstiga-
ting the growth of life. And now he
is sitting up nights watching eggs
turn into chickens. How does he do
it? I'll tell you.
"He takes q fresh egg and cuts a
bit of shell out of the little end. He
chooses that end so as not to disturb
the air bubble at the big end. The
bit of shell he cuts out is as big as a
nickle, and he takes it out just as
q surgeon would trepan cracked
skull. Then he can see the inside of
the egg as plain as can be. He takes
little of the white out, just enough
to turn the yolk around so the germ
is where he can see it. Then he puts
the white back very gently and seals
it up. He has little glass saucer,
very thin, big over as your thumb
nail and curved just like the bit of
shell he cut out. He puts this over
the hole, being careful to let no air
remain under it, and seals it Oh tight
with collodion. Aud there you are.
You cap see everything inside the
egg-shell as plain as in tea cup.

slide, and you can watch the whole
process of the growth of the chick
until he picks his way out of the

incubator now and then and examine
it just as closely as you please.
And / believe DR.. Gerlach is now
preparing set of photographs of the
interior of the egg, one taken every
hour, from the placing of the egg in
the incubator to the hopping out Of
the hatched chick. Now, talk about
hearing daisies grown. Y. Tri-

It's greatest length is $50 miles, it

varies from ~ to % fathoms.

The Gibbs and flow of the tide in
the Adriatic are inconsiderable

Mediterranean generally; andits salt

ocean. The prevalence of sudden
squalls from the northeast and south
east render its navigation hazardous,
especially in winter.

STALE BREAD.
Various Ways In Which 1t May De Util

Various Ways In Which 1t May De Util-
| iLcd to Good Advantage.
A great deal of bread is thrown away
by those who can i'll afford it, from lack
OF knowledge how to utilize it. On the
farm, in most instances, of course, stale
bread is not wholly lost, for if wet Lit.
tic it makes good food for the poultry.
or may be given to the pigs, but this Is
not the best way to make use of it even
by those who have poultry and pigs.
There are many ways TO utilize stale
bread. II makes delicious griddle-cakes
when soaked in cold water Three small
slices with water enough TO cover them
should be sufficient, when the milk and
flour are added, to make two quarts of
batter. Some prefer to put in one egg.
while others like them fully as well
without. When the bread Is soaked
soft, make il fine with spoon, add the
milk and sufficient flour to stiffen
enough so that tho cakes can be easily
turned. II sour milk is used add to the
batter one even teaspoonful of soda. II
you do not use sour milk use twice as
much cream of tartar as soda. French
toast, always favorite dish with chill
dren, can be made of thin slices cut
from stale loaf and moistcned in milk
and eggs-two eggs to spint of milk
and then fried on a griddle with a mix
ture of butter and lard or butter and
beef drippings, and may be eaten
with sugar or syrup, like griddle-
cakes. Pieces of bread which are not
too hard can be made into q resem-
blance of turkey dressing. Cut the bread
into dice, and il you have quantity of
gravy from which fat can be taken, left
from any kind of roast-though a piece
of butter will do as well-thoroughly
grease the bottom of a spider, put in
the bread, with some little chunks of
butter and plenty Of seasoning; then
pour enough boiling water on to
moisten it. cover tightly, and, in mo-
ment, il will steam through and you can
stir it, and either brown little or have
it moist like dressing. n should be
eaten with gravy over 1t, and is good
substitute for potatoes. The little dry,
hard pieces and crtlsts which always ac-
cumulate can be put In O pe.tin In an
oven that is just hot enough to dry and
make them a light brown, then roll
them fine and put away TO use in max.
ing croquettes, frying fish. etc. Even
these slightly Drowned crumbs mako
excellent griddle-cakes with the addition
of one egg and. handful Of flour and
milk to batter. Stale bread may DO
utilized In making a custard pudding
also. The fact is, that where economy
is the rule bread will not be thrown

Yesterday the three men, Stewart 'S6, Damn
'SS S. and Sheffield '87, who had been ap-
pointed by President Archibald to confer
with the alumni and delegates, were ready
to impart the sentiment of those gentlemen
to the university, and it was decided to hold
| meeting at once and especially since the
smaller colleges of last years league meet
| to-day to take action as to their future con-
| duct. Little of Importance was done at the
meeting, and the outcome of the matter Is as
much a mystery as ever. Messrs. Sheffield
and Damn were the only speakers. Mr.. Shelf
| field spoke briefly, but he clearly showed that
| the opinions and wishes of all whom he had
| conferred with were opposed to this comb
| nation. Mr.. Stewart then arose and proposed
| that the meeting be postponed indefinitely
| and that the students and graduates be given
| plenty of time to discuss its merits pro and
| con. The motion to adjourn was quickly
| seconded, and the students left the hall as
much bewildered as ever in reference to the
perplexing proposal. 1t is probable that a
| meeting in the near future will be called and
| which will decide the matter and restore
| quiet on the campus once more.

Horrible Death.

That salt is absolutely necessary to the
health and life of the human family is proved
by the fact that in barbarous times the most
horrible punishments entailing certain death
was the feeding of culprits on food without
salt. By the criminal law of Holland it was
decreed that criminals convicted of murder
under certain circumstances should be i'm
prisoned in damp cell, having only water
to drink, and should be fed on bread made
without salt. and according to well authenti-
Gated testimony in short space of time the
criminals died most horrible and revolving
death In the purchase of any article of
food 80 essential to life we cannot be too
careful, and should always insist upon pure
article. Saline is the purest table salt made
and can be had at any grocer's. Price only

The ID. of l..

To the Editor of the JOURNAL AND COURIER:
In your issue of the 21st inst. 1 notice an
assertion from w. o. Staples that the D. of
L. is a social auxiliary to the o. U. A. M.
Now in the name of common sense l would
ask what will be done with mechanics wives
who are foreign born, and there are many
such. There is law on the d. of l.. books
and has been for five or six years that no one
can be admitted but American born. Are
they going to dictate who an A. M. may
marry? Is it showing justice to them if it is
a social auxiliary to keep them out of the D.
of L.. The o. U. A. M. of New Haven at
least has shown very plainly that they do not
want them and said SO. In my opinion this
schism in the D. of L., both national and
subordinate, is the result of personal spite.
There is more I would like to say, but will
forbear at this time.

| A Gain of Forty or Fifty Seats For
the Government.
BERLIN. Feb. 21.-Returns of the elections
which took place throughout Germany to-day
are coming in slowly. In this city Herren
Singer and Hasenclever, Socialists, are elect
ed for the fourth and sixth districts re-
spectively, but in the other districts supple
mentary elections will be necessary, which
will doubtless result in the election of Herren
Virchow, Klotz and Baum bach, Liberals and
Socialists. The Socialists have made i'm
mense gains in Berlin and reported to have
polled heavy votes elsewhere. In Berlin the
Socialists polled total vote of 100, 900
against II 900 for the Conservatives and &C.,
900 for the Liberals. The Liberals and So
oialists will coalesee in the supplementary
elections in opposition to the government
candidates. The vote was unusually heavy,
ninety per cent. of the electorate of Berlin
having cast ballots. Prince Bismarck ap-
peared at the polls and deposited his vote at
noon. His appearance was the signal for an
ovation.
In Hamburg three Socialists are elected,
but in nearly all the large cities, certainty in
Konigsberg, Danzig, Lubbock and Frankfort
on Main, supplementary elections must be
held. These will occur during the next ten
days. The impression prevails tonight that
the government will gain between forty and
fiftv seats in the reichstag,
